I'm not sure it would work since it is a list, but I would absolutely be willing to show up with my ID and just say you gave me a ticket since you weren't able to attend - worth a shot. Often times when an employee is face to face with a fan, they'll just say "fuck it" and let them in because they know how much it means. You could screenshot the confirmation email so they know it's legit and i'm not just a fan trying to sneak in.

Senatorbrown has been gracious enough to take me along with him. Would you think maybe replying to the email and letting them know you are replacing yourself with him makes sense? Praying this works out! Thanks for your generosity and I promise a full report.
